Course advice

It is recommended that in your first year you plan to study eight courses. You should ensure that you plan to study the seven core courses and then prioritise any additional Stage I courses required for your chosen major(s). You can also choose to enrol in an elective course* or General Education course.

Economics courses
Direct entry into ECON 152 may be possible for students with sufficient prior knowledge and skills in Economics at secondary school level. For more information please visit the Economics major page.

Both quantitative and non-quantitative major pathways are now available. Students intending to take the quantitative pathway are advised to plan to complete MATH 108 or 150 in your second year for your major. If progressing with the non-quantitative pathway you should take ECON 152 as your eighth course in the first year.

Accounting major
If you are intending to major in Accounting you should enrol in ECON 151 unless you have already been credited with a pass in ECON 191 or 101 in a previous semester. If you are planning to complete the requirements to become a Chartered Accountant you are advised that the professional bodies are likely to require a pass in either ECON 151 Understanding the Global Economy, ECON 152 Principles of Economics or ECON 191 Business Economics (or both ECON 101 Microeconomics and ECON 111 Macroeconomics).

*(Any course at any stage of your choosing, EXCEPT General Education, ie, courses that are offered by both the Business School or any other faculty).
